Putting a protective case on your iPad not only prevents accidental drops or spills from coffee/drinks/rain, but if it also allows for height or angle adjustment, it can increase the iPad's usability. Whether you're binge-watching shows, writing, or drawing, it's more convenient than just laying the iPad flat. This time, we're sharing the Origo Clear Pencil Holder Drop-Proof Case from the Taiwanese brand Hipporizz for the new 2024 M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air. It features a dedicated slot for the Apple Pencil and can fold into multiple angles. What other features does this iPad Pro case have? Let's check out the review!
2024 iPad Pro Case Review – Hipporizz Origo Clear Pencil Holder Drop-Proof Case
While many prefer to use their iPhones without a case, I don't recommend using an iPad "naked." The main reason is that a naked iPad can only be used flat or held by hand. Even the M4 iPad Pro, which is lighter and thinner, can still make your arm tired after holding it for a while.
So, if you don't usually need an external keyboard, want to protect your iPad, and make it useful in various situations, then the Hipporizz Origo Clear Pencil Holder Drop-Proof Case we're sharing this time is a great option. Here are its key product features:
- Transparent back panel to show off your new device
- The cover is made of water-repellent material on both the inside and outside
- Features a dedicated slot for the Apple Pencil
- Can be folded into 4 different angles to suit various usage scenarios
- Supports smart sleep and wake-up functions to prevent battery drain
Now let's dive into the design details of the Origo Clear Pencil Holder Drop-Proof Case and its actual user experience!
► Transparent back panel to show off your new device
The Origo Clear Pencil Holder Drop-Proof Case has a similar design philosophy to Apple's Smart Folio, protecting both the front and back of the iPad. What sets it apart is that Taiwanese brand Hipporizz realized many consumers want to see the carefully chosen color of their iPad. Therefore, they specially designed a "transparent back panel" so that others can instantly see the new device and its color.
Furthermore, this protective case adds protective bezels around all four sides of the iPad. This prevents scratches from friction with other items in your bag and provides initial impact cushioning for the corners in case of an accidental drop.
The main camera on the iPad also has a raised design, so you don't have to worry about accidentally bumping or scratching the camera lens when the iPad is laid flat.
The power button on the M4 iPad Pro version and the volume buttons on the side are designed as physical buttons. The force required to press them is similar to using the device without a case, making it effortless. The cutouts for the speaker holes and USB-C port are also precise, ensuring no interference with normal use.
Additionally, because the M2 iPad Air still uses Touch ID for unlocking, the power button on these models features a cutout design instead.
The cutout is perfectly sized and does not affect the Touch ID unlocking function.
► Water-Repellent Material on Both Sides of the Cover
We often carry our iPads out and about, so having a water-repellent case is important. This Origo drop-proof case features water-repellent TPU leather material on both the inner and outer layers of the cover. So, if you accidentally get dirt on it, like coffee or sauce, you can quickly wipe it off to prevent stains.
It offers various color options for the cover, and the color extends to the surrounding bezels, giving the product a consistent look. For example, the 13-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air models are available in Space Gray and Starlight.
The 11-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air, on the other hand, come in four color options: Space Gray, Elephant Blue, Starlight, and Flamingo Pink.
► Supports smart sleep and wake functions, no worries about draining the battery.
The front cover of the Origo iPad case is not only good-looking and dirt-resistant, but it also supports automatic wake/sleep functions. So, just open the cover to wake the iPad, and close it to put the iPad into sleep mode. This helps save battery life for the iPad.
However, one thing to note is that with the 13-inch version, if the cover is facing down, it's more likely to loosen and wake the iPad screen. Therefore, when storing it, try to keep the cover facing up to avoid this from happening.
► Features a dedicated slot for Apple Pencil
The Apple Pencil is considered a standard accessory for many iPad users. It's commonly used for jotting down notes, writing, and even for tasks like using the calculator with Math Notes in iOS 18, where you can simply write out equations and the calculator will solve them.
So, if you usually carry your iPad and Apple Pencil together, but are worried that the Apple Pencil's magnetic attachment to the side of the iPad isn't secure enough and might fall off or get lost with a bump, having an iPad case with a dedicated slot for the Apple Pencil provides great peace of mind.
When you need to write or draw with the Apple Pencil, you can easily retrieve it through the cutout behind the slot.
For iPad Pro and iPad Air models that already support magnetic charging, simply place the Apple Pencil back into its dedicated slot, and you'll see it begin charging. This seamlessly integrates with your daily usage habits while providing a secure storage spot for your Apple Pencil.
► Foldable to 4 different angles to suit various usage scenarios
The advantage of choosing a multi-angle foldable iPad case is that you're no longer limited to just laying your iPad flat or holding it by hand. Instead, you can find the most comfortable viewing angle for different usage scenarios, similar to Apple's Smart Folio. It can be folded to a 30-degree viewing angle, which is ideal for writing notes or drawing, as it prevents glare from overhead lights and provides a stable surface when pressing down on the iPad.
For watching dramas, YouTube, or checking stocks, you can fold it to a 45-degree angle that suits your preferred viewing angle.
Or you can stand the iPad screen more vertically, folding it to about a 70-degree angle, which provides a more parallel viewing angle between the screen and your eyes. This is also convenient for using it as an extended display next to you during work.
If you want to scroll through websites, Facebook, or FaceTime with friends and family, you can simply switch to portrait mode. The Hipporizz case has extra strong magnets on the cover, ensuring that the folded stand remains stable when supporting the iPad.
Because the magnetic force of the front cover is stronger, you can directly attach the Origo iPad case to magnetic surfaces like refrigerators, metal doors, or metal racks. Whether you want to use it as a HomeKit hub, a digital photo frame in the living room, or view recipes in the kitchen, the use cases can be adapted to your needs.
For those with small kitchen spaces or who worry about grease stains on their iPad while cooking, attaching the iPad directly to a magnetic wall saves counter space and reduces concerns about a greasy iPad.
Summary
If you already have an iPad or are planning to get one, never use it without a case. Choose a functional iPad case that not only enhances protection but also improves your daily user experience.
For example, the Hipporizz iPad Origo Clear Pencil Slot Drop-Proof Case we shared has a splash-proof material on both the inside and outside of the front cover, a transparent back panel design that shows the original color of your iPad, a dedicated slot for the Apple Pencil, and multiple folding angles. So, whether you're watching shows, writing, or working, a functional and practical case is always more convenient and safer than using the iPad naked.
